Our work spans tangible user interfaces, visualizations, creative systems, and human-centered AI.
SAGE3 is a collaboration software that boasts embracing spatial workflows. Now, with LLM and AI capabilities, we study how creative activities, like brainstorming, can benefit from the spatialized paradigm.
We often 3D print large models of terrain for visualization exhibits. This tool is meant to help with creating the models for such prints from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) files.
With so much cliamte data available, how do we reach people with important observations? ClimaTales combines projected data layers with currated data narratives.
Can augmented reality help students learn the basics of architecture's statics topics? We use real-time projection to enhance tangible objects to develop students' intuition.
